Google engineers and developers are reportedly now working with those who created the popular, simple Linux distro "Ubuntu" to develop a new iteration called "Goobuntu." 

Release date and details are still unknown, but there has been talk for some time of Google doing something to compete with Microsoft and whisperings among nerd circles of one day running all Google applications on your computer. 

For those already familiar with Linux, I doubt this will be of great interest as Ubuntu isn’t the most powerful flavor available, but this may attract many disgruntled Windows users if it comes to fruition.
